Aubrey's Butterfly 5K Run/Walk for EB

05/02/2013

Due to extenuating circumstances, the Aubrey’s Butterfly 5K Walk/Run Race Committee has made the difficult decision to cancel its 2013 5K run/walk event on October 19, 2013.
We would like to thank all the individuals who volunteered or participated in this event the last two years. The event was a success in large part to all of you. Additionally, a great deal of awareness and money was raised in an effort to find a cure for individuals who suffer from Epidermolysis Bullosa, and for that reason we will be eternally grateful to each and every one of you.
We continue to support DEBra of America in their efforts to find a cure and we encourage everyone who visits this page to go to www.debra.org to learn more about EB, or to make a donation.
Your donation designated to Aubrey Joy Oberlin or Aubrey’s Butterfly 5K will continue to be designated to research in an effort to find a cure.
On behalf of the Oberlin family, and the Aubrey’s Butterfly 5K Run/Walk Race Committee, we thank you for your continued support!

To all the butterfly children:
“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”
-John Keats

Happy Holidays!

On Sunday, October 21 the 2nd annual Aubrey's Butterfly 5K Run/Walk for EB was held in Dimondale, Michigan. Hundreds of runners and walkers gathered to honor Aubrey Joy Oberlin, while raising EB awareness and almost $23,000 for debra of America and Epidermolysis Bullosa research.
